Audition Call

The Miser

by Moliere adapted and directed by Manish Sabu, produced by Alka Sippy

(in Hindi)

Hilarity ensues when a miser seeks to marry off his daughter, his son, and himself on the cheap (obviously). This classic comedy by French playwright Moliere is as fresh today as it was in 1668, when it was staged for the first time.
